Advanced Podcasting/Screencasting Gear

Everything I currently use to record screencasts. The reason this is labeled advanced is because it is an XLR mic instead of a simpler USB mic. Since it's an XLR mic, that means you'll need a USB interface to convert the audio signal into something a computer can understand.

Webcam

The Logitech C920 is a solid starter webcam. It helped me when I first started at a cheap price. Jump to the C922 for 720p/60fps.

Mic

More expensive than the beginner mics, but this is one of the most popular mics used by the heavy hitter podcasters like Joe Rogan. Quality audio. I like the audio so good that it feels like I'm in the room. This mic gets it done.

USB Interface

A USB interface is how we convert he audio signal coming from an XLR mic to something a computer can read (err hear?). Nothing fancy here. Just an interface that has an amplifier, although I disable this amp and use the one in the DBX 286s.

Webcam

An upgrade over the C920/C922 with 4k recording. Probably won't even use the 4k for my stuff but the quality is noticeably better. A bonus is also Windows Hello support.

Office Stuff

I'm big into ergonomics as my body is getting beat up from all the weightlifting and activities I do. I just want to sit on a cloud when I'm in the home office. Here's some things I've landed on for super comfort.

Ergonomic Keyboard

I used to be a big fan of mechanical keyboards (MX Blue for life!). However the carpal tunnel hit hard so I had to go to an ergonomic. For mechanical ergonomics, there's the Kinesis, but I didn't want to invest the time to learning the keys on that.

This Surface keyboard has great key travel and comfort.
